MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL FIRST TIME REACTION TO KPOP AND BTS "PERMISSION TO DANCE"

[@nerasomnia]

I think you’ll really like BTS once you dive into their more introspective songs. They did a whole album series based on Carl Jung’s Map of the Soul. And before that, there was the Love Yourself series. Their lyrics and messages are a big reason for why most people became their fans in the first place.

[@Mehm12]

You will love BTS if you dig in deeper, I promise! To start with, I suggest you watch a live performance of BTS Magic Shop or Answer:Love Myself with English subtitles. I have seen a lot of health professionals use these songs in their therapy because of the messages. One of BTS strongest advocacy is mental health awareness. They have a LOT of songs talking about their own experiences with mental health, their philosophies and their current state of mind. The guys mostly write their songs themselves (esp those written in Korean, Permission to Dance’s main writer is Ed Sheeran) so they always talk about their art in depth as well as their experiences with the subjects their songs are talking about. Their 3 English songs (which they mostly did not write) are all pop happy tunes because they just wanted to make people smile and give hope during this pandemic.

FYI they did incorporate the American Sign Language into their choreo. Normally their choreo are very hard for ordinary people to copy and dance to but this time they made it so easy so that the people of all ages race etc can dance too even using the sign language for people with disability like hearing impaired can dance too as you don't need permission to dance.

People are misleading the audience, fact is there is NO international sign language for the death, each country has its own sign language it developed organically. English speaking countries for example, has three varieties: American Sign Language (ASL), British Sign Language (BSL) and Australian Sign Language (Auslan).The sign language used in PTD is the American version. My daughter studied Auslan, please don't spread non factual information.

BTS should be required listening for all mental health professionals. I play them for my third graders daily and they love it. The majority of their songs cover topics about mental health and loving yourself. Their last (Korean) album, BE, was all about coping during the pandemic. One can’t help smiling when listening to BTS.

[@marymazzulli6971]

Hi, new sub here 👋 I strongly second Susan's comment 🙋‍♀️! BTS has brought me back to life, and they make managing my MDD and mod-severe GAD sooooo much more fun. The 3 moves highlighted in the chorus choreography integrate the International Sign gestures for “Enjoy,” “Dance,” and “Peace" (performed in that order). I mean... Who does that? Thankfully, BTS does! I believe it's a continuation of the message of comfort and hope that they have striven tirelessly to impart since their debut in 2013 and throughout the past 2 years - especially, from their 2020 summer smash “Dynamite” to their latest album, BE, and their 2021 chart-toppers “Butter” and “Permission to Dance.” Hand in hand with the joy and hope and optimism of “PTD,” though, comes another, quieter kind of comfort... the companionable promise that, despite our physical distance, we are all going through this together, and we WILL make it through. NAMASTE🙏 and welcome to the BTS Rabbit Hole! 💜 Fun fact: "PTD" was cowritten by Ed Sheeran 😀

[@jcasa3646]

BTS is definitely worth the journey. The song itself was "gifted" to BTS fans specifically to help uplift spirits because of mental health struggles relating to the pandemic. They even incorporated sign language into their choreo to include their hearing impaired/deaf fans who've also suffered greatly with isolation. But PTD is far from the first song that BTS has in their discography of 300-ish that address mental health issues...in fact, this is what they are known for by their global fans (ARMY). PTD is arguably the most lighthearted song, next to "Dynamite" (Grammy nominated), which they also wrote/released to lift spirits during the pandemic in 2020. As may have already been mentioned, the group is made up of 3 rappers (who are also the main songwriters for the group - albeit, Ed Sheeran is the main songwriter for PTD) and 4 vocalists...one of the rappers had expressed the depth of his own struggles w/ mental health via his rap lyrics early on in their career as a group (they debuted together about 8 years ago). And, as a group, they've always been active in their advocacy for mental health, particularly among youth (although their fan base is also multi-generational). With that, they maintain a partnership with UNICEF for their "Love Myself" campaign, promoting positive self-esteem and well-being in young people and children. Although most BTS songs are written primarily in Korean (w/ English mixed in), they've released albums in Japanese and have performed with Spanish lyrics as well. Needless to say, their positive messages in Korean are, nonetheless, well received globally (effectively through the use of interpreters, Closed Caption/Eng subs). And as a result of their outreach - in addition to their obvious talents as artists - BTS have become the #1 band in the world, with the largest fan base in world... just look at the unprecedented number of views their videos receive. Prior to the pandemic, they were consistently selling out stadiums within minutes. For now, they keep doing their thing, even if it has to be done virtually.

If you got confused about purple balloons, the meaning of it is in the teaser of the mv where it says "Purple balloon signals the end of COVID-19" and also, purple is like the color of the fandom and the day that they released that song is ARMY's (name of the fandom) birthday so it's like a gift to us.

The fact that a lot of the choreo was sign language makes me smile. I have deaf friends. I really hope you will delve deeper into their discography. I think the message of self love and acceptance that they try to spread is a big factor in a lot of their songs.

You will be pleasantly shocked at the different styles. 💜

[@Cookie_moonlove]

BTS are usually compared more to artists like Michael Jackson for their performances and artistry etc and not kpop groups or boy bands. It's their amazing performances, the fact tat they all are amazing multi talented artists, producers, dancers and songwriters and their deep moving lyrics with a great message that help people and unite the world (check out their Korean songs) and the fact that they are so humble and genuine that have made them the biggest group in the world with the most diverse fandom when it comes to age, ethnicity, sexuality, gender. Their fandom called Army have a great number of charities and in other ways just like BTS donate money and help people and the environment. The fandoms biggest age group are people in their 30's followed by people in their 20's and then teens and people who are 40+ plus kids. I would recommend that you start by reacting to: *"THIS IS BTS | Introduction to BTS" by xCeleste* and *"This is BTS ARMY | Introduction to BTS fans" also by xCeleste.* They are only about 15 min each and you'll get lots of views if you react to those introductions BUT if you do read and pay attention and pause if you talk. BTS members in order of age: 1992 Jin vocalist 1993 Suga aka Agust D rapper 1994 J-Hope rapper 1994 RM rapper (+group leader) 1995 Jimin vocalist 1995 V vocalist 1997 Jungkook aka JK vocalist +If you didn't know BTS do not block reactions to their music videos so there is never any need to pause every 30 sec or cut reactions up, just do like you did and show the whole thing with the Big Hit intro.

Thank you for this reaction. First time I watched Permission to Dance MV I was in tears.The message of hope,diversity and using ISL (for which the WHO has thanked BTS ) made me happy and sad simultaneously. Be ready for a lot of suggestions regarding other BTS songs,they have a discography of almost 300. In the Spring they performed Blue & Grey for MTV unplugged(english subs),it's a hauntingly beautiful song about depression. Epiphany is a solo with the message of loving yourself. The Last is a rap song written and performed by one of the members ,describing his long battle with depression. BTS are strong advocates of mental health awareness. Apart from that they are brilliant vocalists,rappers,dancers,lyricists,producers and composers.

He has some interesting things to say 😊

As a mental health professional, I think BTS would really appeal to you! They are all about self acceptance, self love...we Army celebrate them by creating charities, donating money to charities, and things like planting hundreds of thousands of trees. BTS donated 1 million dollars to BLM, and army matched it in 24 hours. They spoke at the United Nations on behalf of UNICEF advocating for disadvantaged children all over the world and ending violence against children. They have the biggest fan base in the world, they transcend gender, race, language, and age barriers, did you know that 46% of their fan base is over the age of 40?

It is a happy and feel-good summer song. This is actually opposite of their previous concepts. Their previous concepts were more darker and complicated but they chose this happy uplifting concept for the meantime as it is still pandemic.

[@VAngel876]

This song along with ISL in the choreo also used purple ballons to signify the end of covid so when he was helping the child release covid he was helping the child as well as everyone release the stress and fear associated with this pandemic. Also when diving into the BTS Universe many people have talked about the songs that are uplifting and make you feel better songs like: Zero O'clock, Paradise, Magic Shop and especially Epiphany which tells us we must love ourselves first but it also deals with the flip side of that knowing that we can't always be happy with songs like: Blue and Gray, the Last, Reflection, Whalien 52 the sadness of covid, the depression of living on ones own, and being lonely and Tomorrow a song of their struggles of always hoping tomorrow would be better. But they also have songs of empowerment for the youth that feel like everyone is making plans for them and they have no say they wrote "No More Dream and N.O. For school kids trying to be in one sided relationships there is "Danger', and "What Am I To You". I could go on but this would become a letter. The point though is that BTS started writing not specifically to become world famous singers. They began to become a voice to and for young adults who felt silence by Korean society because of the conservative norms. They became famouse because it is not just in Korea.

Thank you for your reaction. After watching your reaction, I checked out your page and watched a few of your other videos. Thank you for talking about mental health; it is an important issue especially after the past 18 months. Kudos on following your passion (tiktok, social media). It had to be scary to let go of what was certain to a world of what ifs. One of the things I love about the members of BTS is their openness about their mental health struggles. One example is the oldest member, Jin, released a song last December called "Abyss", about being in that dark place. Jin explained the struggles he was having when he wrote this song, and that he had to seek counseling. In Korea, like many places, people do not talk about depression, mental health, or getting counseling--the "just suck it up" attitude. The president of Korea commended Jin for seeking counseling and sharing his anxieties openly. I noticed other ARMYs (BTS fans) have already told you about the Love Yourself albums, Map of the Soul albums (Jungian psychology--persona, shadow, ego). Their songs are mostly in Korean, but the MVs have subtitles. (Avoid the lyric videos, they frequently have a number of errors or mistranslations.)

That way you can enjoy the video and dance. Then turn on the cc on the second time through and enjoy the lyrics. Just know that most mvs have indepth meanings and if you need an explanation video those are available. The most trusted cites for those are DKDKTV and Bookish Theories. To learn more about BTS in general and their history as well as ARMYS the best site to use as a resource is XCELESTE and she will point you to others who may have been created since.

He learned how to rap once he joined BTS. But was an award winning street dancer for 10yrs prior to BTS.) Hope this helps. Oh by the way their in-ears usually matches their mikes too😉💜Every mv is completely different and live performances are even better. 😁💜

Pssst. Not Jimmy Kimmel, but Jimmy Fallon that they were on this week. During an recent Interview, the Members actually said this Song is meant for "Healing." Nevertheless, thanks for sharing your thoughts.

[@lucianediniz683]

Can't wait for you to listen to Blue and Grey!

[@juliegood1640]

I follow you on Instagram. It's great to see you react to Permission to Dance. In this song, some do not know that they use ASL towards the end. I am new, ARMY, aka BTS Fandom, and love the music they put out. Their music has a lot of meaning. They talk about life and struggles against the industry and their own lives.

[@rlatonyaellis806]

Thank you for your reaction. A couple of other BTS songs that you'd probably appreciate is Butter & Dynamite. Both of these are in English also and they're AMAZING. Would love to see your reaction to them. FYI...BTS has songs in Korean, Japanese and English so it's always good to have the cc's on like you did with this one. Looking forward to your reaction.

[@annebernard6604]

Thank you for this reaction ! BTS’s fandom (called Army) is always glad to see people reacting and loving our 7boys music ! Good vibes from an Army Mum from France ! 💜

[@lovelykaren2983]

Your smile while you watched was everything. Thanks for sharing your smile and honesty. (BTW BTS has the biggest fan group in the world - incoming on your video now) 💜

[@jacquereid9958]

I just found you, looking forward to seeing what you think when you get to the deep end of BTS 💜 looking forward to your journey 💜

[@stephc2977]

Great reaction! I also see you are mental health professional, that's awesome. BTS writes a lot about mental health issues. thanks for your dedication to a much needed service. I really enjoyed your sincere enjoyment of the I song.

[@allisonB123]

New sub from South Africa 🇿🇦 I’m a registered nurse, and I am dedicated Army - have been since 2015, their music has helped me heal when I have needed it, and as men, they are inspirational. They make me want to try harder, do better, and give more - which has been necessary motivation sometimes, especially as a nurse during this pandemic. They only have three full English tracks, and they are all upbeat, fun songs - their Korean music is…different. I prefer it, but the English stuff is fun. I’m here for your BTS journey, hope you enjoy it 🙏💜

[@Kauritree08]

3rd english song, purple balloons represent the end of covid, all 3 rappers sing in this song (which is cool), RM's hair is FABULOUS, they use international sign language which is special and the end scene includes all the staff who worked behind the scenes on the production, dancing which is a great touch. I'm more drawn to their edgier stuff and more thought provoking and artistic work. But this is a very inclusive and positive video and shares a positive message.

[@cathylazarus1334]

Welcome to BTS . Looking forward to more of your reactions , people's lives become so much better Happier once they follow BTS

[@old1347]

Thanks for your reaction to this BTS song. They have a very large discography that might be of interest to you. And, as a mental health provider, if you watch any of the background videos about BTS and and/or read the comments made by members of their fan group - ARMY - I think you will find that their music, their message and their behavior have been of great help to many people.

[@LittleSnowDancer02]

I have to admit, PTD is not my fave, but I enjoyed watching that with you. I was smiling the whole way :)

[@joaniewwh3502]

the choreo for the song is sign languages, so people with hearing disability can also enjoy. the message is you don't have to hesitate to be happy. "you don't need permission to dance." ;)

[@klaradinda802]

Finally!! The've been talking about mental health issue from a long time. Apreciate what you've done,thank you for making time to review our boys. From mental health prespective please reviw their songs : Epiphany Zero o'clock Magic shop Many more actually. And literally i really healed by their lyrics,when i stressed out i listen to them and loving myself more and more. Once again,thank you 💜💜💜💜

[@MarilynPF]

The last part was them dancing with the staff, like stylists, who worked on the MV. They sing about mental health issues a lot, “Blue & Grey,” written during the pandemic, Suga’s “The Last” is a very powerful song about his earlier deep struggles with depression, anxiety and OCD. I think this type of song helps people to feel less isolated in emotional pain. Of course they have many happy songs too.

[@JjarinaJin]

You might want to check out their song Blue & Grey, n Zero O'clock. Blue & Grey - talked abt being sad, lost n depressed during this forced isolation due to the pandemic. Zero O'clock - talked abt being exhausted frm your professional n daily life, but at zero o'clock, the song reminded us that a new day has begun n hope will spring anew for a better/happier day. 3 psychiatrist frm South Korea reacted to Zero o'clock n talked abt how this song can uplift a person's mood n helped them mentally n emotionally.

[@bernadettadiwati478]

Try to discover the message they want to pass it through.. its really healing and beautiful..

[@nsabrinazaki]

I love when mental health professional reacts to bts song. Btw, thanks for this honest reaction. I really wanted to know more on your opinion about bts song. Hopefully you able to do that in your leisure time. Im your new subscriber! 💜💜💜

[@annakim9300]

Yes there are 7 of them and they have been together since 2013 when they first debut.

[@lesliethornton5699]

I am fairly new to BTS..started with Dynamite.. .guess I lived under a rock since did not know they have been working hard since debut in 2013. Have gone back to check their history....totally impressed with their fight for fame..Cover of Time Magazine..United Nations speech...awards etc. Have been learning a little of the language and Korean cooking.(have yet to try the dancing... but I am a senior citizen ) Probably wont ever visit Korea but BTS has definitely gotten me out of my Covid funk ( state of depression) So a big thanks to the BTS boys

[@Grazied50]

This song was made whith a lot of sign language too. Tks for reacting so nicely! 💜

[@thuaners]

loved watching your first time reacting to BTS! so glad u liked them, they are awesome! (but u know this already hehe!)

[@ellensantiago6331]

All the guys in BTS were destined to be together! They have been together since 2013. Most of there songs are done in Korean and Japanese. They just started singing in English. If you want to know more about them you have to go wayyyy back to see how they started and why they are the biggest boy band in the WORLD!

[@KH-dm9lu]

They also have a song called “Butter” that recently came about almost 2 months ago. It’s in English as well and i recommend reacting to it :)

[@jennifermattly2874]

You will be surprised at their lyrics in some of their older music as well as all the genres they cover in their songs! Enjoy!!

[@monikakrell9251]

During the pandemic Bts have made 3 all english songs to cheer us up, Dynamite, Butter, permission To dance but the Korean/english songs are about depression, menthal health, society, bulling. Bts is 3 rappers anf 4 vocalist, the write, produced there songs. The have 4 nr 1 songs at Billboard 100, Butter a song before Permission To Dance is nr 1 right now at Billboard 100 its on 7 weeks now

[@mzmohamedV]

I enjoyed watching you jamming. Hope you read some of the comments that suggested some other songs to react to.

[@muginfires]

oh you are gonna love bts lyrics so much. subcribing to see your journey cause they deal with mental health music too

[@Princess-ch2bw]

Thank for reacting BTS Permission to dance. This song is special gift to us, mental health disability awareness.

[@tamarasimms4932]

I just subscribed and waiting for your next BTS reaction. I’m sure army has told you a lot but if you react to BTS you will be blown away. I’m waiting…. Especially because you’re a mental health professional

[@MinSung931]

I'm loving the cowboy/country style they have going on and I'm also giving props to the stylist noonas for styling them this way and also props o to the people in the MV as you could see they were clearly havin fun. I'm loving the beat and the line " I don't need permission to dance" will be stuck in my head for ever and always now, also it's such and iconic line and is up there with " Get it, Let it roll". I'm also loving the beat of the music as it'd so happy and upbeat and really summery, it also makes me wanna smile just seeing them have fun. The choreo is so groovy and makes me wanna dance and I just wanna groove with it also as there isn't really that much choreo it's really easy to dance too. I love their MV as it shows the boys having fun with eachother and other people also the vocals are as amazing as ever, I especially love yoongis vocals as he really can sing, and it makes me wanna sing along. It all being English aswell also makes it their 3rd all English song and this one is just as catch as Dynamite and Butter. Also I love the message behind the song ad it basically says no matter what or where you are if you here music you love just dance along to it as you don't need permission to dance and have fun. Us armys are getting so spoilt on our birthday and o just love the guys so much and you can clearly see how much they love us back k by just seeing how hard they work and how they care about us. You'll never get another band like BTS who love their fans so much and who works so hard for them. Thankyou BTS for a wonderful birthday present. BTS are a group that make you feel happy when ever your down as my story started back in 2014 and I was in a really bad place with my depression and not wanting to live but then these 7 talented lads came into my life and made it a better happier and brighter place for me

[@hebo-zu4ym]

Thanks for taking time to react to our beloved BTS loved ur reaction hope all the best and looking forward to more reactions to BTS as I think u will love their music and their message 💜🌹

"I didn't know that boy bands can get up to 7 guys" Me: Laughs in NCT

[@PS-bn6st]

I was thinking this when he said that 😂

[@EnkeliJaPerkele]

I was wondering who was gonna tell him... XD

[@yumihimura1172]

BTS & ARMYS are also great philanthropists as well, BTS spoke at UN twice, they also partnered with Unicef, & they contributed to many wonderful causes.

[@debradavis2888]

Just know that they were doing international sign language towards the end of the video. The purple balloons are symbolic for BTS and the fans ( referred to as Army). I am now one since I discovered them right after their incredible Live Billboard Music Award performance of Butter( and they really are smooth like buttah). I have watched all the live performances of that song, I can't tell you how many times! The Jimmy Fallon performance of this song is spectacular too! MMA 2020 live performance of Dynamite ....Incredible!

[@blondead_]

can’t wait for you to delve deeper into their discography

[@monkivision1235]

The motto of Big Hit- BTS´s company- is Music and artist for healing.
